An oven rack assembly includes a first arm, a second arm, and a first frame member rotatably coupled with the first arm and the second arm at spaced apart positions along an axis of the first frame member and supported by the first and second arms between a first vertical position and a second vertical position higher than the first vertical position. The first and second arms move the first frame member between the first and second vertical positions with movement of the first frame member in a direction of the axis by rotation of the first and second arms. The assembly further includes a first rack supported on a least a first side thereof by the first frame member and coupled with the first frame member to be slideable with respect thereto along the axis.
